Thank ye for the welcome, MFH. One of my old friends from 'way back told me about this site.

IMHO:
DCF is horribly understaffed and underpaid. Each caseworker has an average of 50 cases to handle. Each direct supervisor manages 5 to 6 caseworkers. That's an incredibly heavy load, and it is understandable that things fall through the cracks.

That doesn't make it right.

As it happens, my wife is handling the prosecution of the child's mother for violating parole. As of this morning, she is not going to be charged with anything more in connection with this crime. Evidently, the woman is being perceived as a victim because her child was beaten to death - never mind that she is the one who put him in that situation!

And that is a real tragedy.

God help us all.

It seems that despite the best efforts of the State Attorney's Office in Polk County, the Judge has decided to allow Jeanna Swallows to post bond.
